A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Alright, take a look at that box art. We've got a creepy puppet in a leather jacket riding a pizza above the heads of a guy with a sexual predator mustache and a kid desperately attempting and failing to be Macaulay Culkin. How awesome you find that box art will probably directly correlate to how much you'll like MUNCHIE.Which is to say MUNCHIE is not a very well-made movie, but it is quite entertaining when watched in the right state of mind (alcoholic beverages may help!). The acting is wooden across the board, the Munchie puppet looks like a dated, cheap children's toy that nobody bought because it was creepier than a Furby, and it's got a generic mom's-new-boyfriend character that rocks hideous '90s track-jackets. Everything feels slightly porn-y for a children's flick as well; there's much cleavage on display and one scene involving the school principal and his secretary feels distinctly softcore (tell me that actress isn't straight outta porn!). This is probably due to the director's seat being occupied by Jim Wynorski, a filmmaker much more at home directing exploitation and softcore flicks than children's movies.It all comes off as a low-rent creepy E.T. (not, like, BADI-level creepy but certainly not cute), sans the emotional depth and filmmaking skill. Bad movie fans will have some fun with it, and little kids might too, I guess (they might need some kid beer though). Look for a preteen Jennifer Love Hewitt in her feature film debut, though she's not given anything to do but smile and look cute.P.S. For those of you who greatly enjoyed 1987's MUNCHIES (anyone? anyone?) and are looking for a sequel, this is completely unrelated despite the trailer's claims. There is, however, a sequel to this one: 1994's MUNCHIE STRIKES BACK.

This film has everything. Flying pizzas, wacky humor, a fat guy in a sailor hat playing the drums. You won't find another film as magnificent as this unless you count G.I. Joe the Movie. It's about this kid named Gage who finds a magical creature named Munchie. Munchie ends up making Gage's life perfect. Seriously, there is pizza in his life and everything. This film will also teach you and your kids valuable lessons. Yes, it is OK to throw away food in your bedroom. Whoever made up that rule is obviously wrong cause Gage does it in this movie. It will also teach you that it is OK to hijack an airplane as long as it's for fun. Most importantly it teaches you not to crash your car into the donut shop cause there are cops in there. Watching this film is one thing everyone should do in their lifetime. It's easily more important than graduating high school.

This is the funniest movie I've ever seen. Get blazed with your friends at night and prepare to laugh until your spleen explodes. There's hundreds of classic, quotable moments: when the bully's head slowly turns toward the camera as he prepares to tear Gage Dobson down. Gage's constant hallucinations (a firing squad? His own funeral? Is this really a kids' movie?). Chaos in the pizza place: "let's try Chinese instead!" The constant slew of subliminal dirty jokes and cleavage shots thrown in for the dads. The bouncin' soundtrack of farting tubas and tinkling synths whenever Munchie gets into mischief. Munchie is pure, unadulterated comedic genius, perhaps only surpassed in brilliance by the 1994 sequel, Munchie Strikes Back. Where is the triple-disc Criterion Collection version?

Too bad I can not assign a 0.This mind-bending garbage has Loni Anderson, Dom Deluise, and Jennifer Love Hewitt in a steaming pile of a kids movie. The pitch was clearly "ET meets Gremlins, but without the scary gremlins." They even stole the scene where ET flies in front of a full moon.Munchie is ancient, grants wishes, but doesn't really do anything cool besides fly a pizza into the kids room when he is denied dinner. Loni Anderson shows off fine plastic surgery work, there is the requisite mad scientist neighbor, and the evil stepdad figure and "i wish my dead dad was here to see this" type writing.What I love about this movie is that there are all these C-List actors in what is just a totally botched Z-grade kids movie. The writing is terrible, the puppet is literally a teddy ruxpin rip off with no facial expressions, mouth that just opens and closes, and eyes that only move horizontally. Mystery Science would have had a field day with this vomit. Truly terrible.
